Yuma's Coffee Culture Shines on National Coffee Day

As the sun rises over the desert landscape, Yuma's coffee shops are bustling with activity, celebrating National Coffee Day with enthusiasm. This annual event isn't just about enjoying a cup of joe; it's a testament to the city's vibrant coffee culture and community spirit.

 

Downtown Yuma's cafés are at the heart of the festivities. Cafecito, located on South Madison Avenue, has become a local favorite, known for its welcoming atmosphere and innovative brews. Earlier this year, it hosted the 'Yuma - Coffee Connection' event, fostering friendships over freshly brewed coffee.

The Coffee Bean, a cornerstone of Yuma's coffee scene, celebrated its 30th anniversary in August 2024. The milestone event featured free tacos, raffles, and gift cards, underscoring the shop's commitment to the community. Owner Claudia Diaz expressed gratitude, stating, "This is a thank you to our community, to Yuma, for being a part of the business for 30 years."

Adding to the rich tapestry of Yuma's coffee culture is Spirit Mountain Roasting Company, the first-ever coffee roastery on Fort Yuma-Quechan land. Established in June 2023, it embodies the motto "Indigenous from seed to cup," sourcing beans from Indigenous or women growers. Founder Tudor Montague aims to inspire local youth and promote economic self-determination within the community.
